Police made four arrests Monday night after the showing of the Dark Knight Rises at a Manahawkin movie theater while strange activity around an emergency exit inside an Edgewater theater caused the screening to be evacuated.

Stafford Police Sergeant John Linck says the arrest followed a report about suspicious activity in the Regal Theater which lead to the arrest of one man for outstanding warrants and the arrest of his three associates on controlled dangerous substance charges. Linck says no weapons were involved.

He says, “its very good due to the wake of the Aurora shootings that people are vigilant and aware of their surroundings.”

In Bergen County a theater at the Edgewater Multiplex was evacuated when moviegoers noticed strange activity around an emergency exit.

Police Sgt. Steven Titus tells The Star-Ledger a caller to 911 said a male stood up about 90 minutes into the movie, opened an emergency exit, spoke to someone outside and returned to his seat.

When that person couldn’t be found police were called. They stopped the movie, turned on the house lights. and asked that person to come forward. None of the 100 people watching the movie owned up so the theater was evacuated and the screening cancelled.
